My good friend Owen D has done it again. A couple months back we started discussing another possible project that I could commission for him to make... and we had discussed the bridge of the Star Destroyer Executor... here is the first portion of it -

I'm going to come to your house and steal that, or better yet, I'll just steal Owen.

That is infuckingcredible. The detail is so astonishing, every little switch has texture and color, and it is nice and curvy.That is hands down one of the best dioramas of any kind I've ever seen. I think it may be my favorite piece of his. You are one lucky guy to own something like that. If I wasn't so damn poor I'd have Owen make me one, or try to make something like that myself, although I'd be very lucky to get it to turn out half that nice.

And yeah, I've spent tons of money buying stuff from him over the past year. I'm just thankful he enjoys making things like this for other people. And it's money well spent... his prices are very reasonable.

I do think though that if Hasbro made something like this, about a $50 or $60 pricetag would be fair because they could mass produce it.

Gregorbian - No, I don't know Owen personally but wish I did... He does take great care in shipping however and uses very big boxes with loads and loads of packing material. Of the 20 or so items I've ordered from him, everything has arrived in perfect condition... and I'm sure this one will too. The Imperial base and the Command Center were both similar in size to this.

JediMAC - Yep, Owen D is the man. His work is so good and I'm very glad that I am fortunate enough to have him make some of these items for me.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad this was so well received, it was a pleasure to make and it came out very nice. Just wish I had more of the custom Imperial Techs made, I had to fill out the pit from the fodder bin. BTW this should ship nicely, its square and has no movable parts. Its a far cry from some of the projects I've sent out in the last year or so. You could probably hit it with a hammer and do nothing more than dent the paint.

Wow. This thing is fantastic. Owen, I have a question for you...how do you get the rounded edges and slopes on the columns? Is it just a thin styrene that is easy to bend?

Keep up the great, great work.

Styrene is available in a lot of different thicknesses, most of what's seen in the bridge is very thick .060" (about a 1/16 of an inch thick) but the interior curves are made with sheets that are barely thicker than paper. Its just a matter of choosing between ease of use or structural needs.

Quazar- I probably won't make the other half unless someone would commission it, I tend to make very few customs for myself anymore due to lack of space in my apartment.
